Though liquids were preferable, he still had the capacity to chew if he wished, though a nutrient feed provided Vader with all the nourishment he required. In the event that he did desire oral consumption, he would ingest RepMed vitapaste via straws located inside the grills of his facemask.
Lord Vader was able to chew food, which he could consume while in his meditation chamber. While in the chamber, Vader could remove his helmet and consume regular food, which he preferred. Consuming food orally was the way he preferred eating.
Yes, He Produces Waste
According to Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, the eponymous Dark Lord relies on catheters to urinate. As for his solid waste, he needs collection pouches.
Darth Vader still has a mouth and digestive system. Therefore he needs to eat. However, he eats very little and what he eats is bland and unsatisfying, to keep him in a pissed mood. That way he keeps tapped into the Dark Side.
Darth Vader's Suit Embeds Needles In His Skin
Inside his suit and mask, Vader has a series of needles in his skin. Unfortunately, these needles, which transmit neurological data throughout his body and allow him to control his limbs, also cause him constant pain.
Apparently, he had borderline personality disorder. As he came of age, Skywalker showed problems with impulsivity, violent outburst, illusions of invincibility and crises of identity, all of which are in line with borderline personality disorder diagnosis, the researchers concluded.
He uses the Force to numb himself to the perceiver's senses and in other words, make himself odorless. He doesn't bathe in the conventional sense, as he spends the majority of time in a Bacta Tank which affects his default body odor. And the fact that he has no sweat glands.
Vader was always in dire need of his suit; that said, he needed it to fall asleep (especially his breathing mechanism) if he wanted to take a quick nap. When Vader did sleep, he was awoken soon after by a disturbing series of visions, sounds and pain, most of which including Obi-Wan or Padme.
The Force choke is another tool employed by Sith to intimidate and even kill their opponents. Sith usually visualize the ability with a claw-like or crushing hand gesture, and strangle a victim through the power of the dark side. The result is an often painful, slow death.
Though liquids were preferable, he still had the capacity to chew if he wished, though a nutrient feed provided Vader with all the nourishment he required. In the event that he did desire oral consumption, he would ingest RepMed vitapaste via straws located inside the grills of his facemask.
Purpose. Darth Vader's meditation chamber was a life support pod that allowed the Sith Lord to survive for extended periods without the helmet and mask of his suit. The injuries Vader sustained during his duel against Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar normally made this impossible.
A Dacor scuba reg was used to create Darth Vader's heavy breathing. Even Star Wars nonfans (really????) know the sound. It is the heavy breathing that sets apart the iconic villain Darth Vader (well, that and his theme music and evil-looking mask).
His armor could be hacked and controlled by a device. In a turn of events, Darth Vader's right limb holding his dangerous scarlet lightsaber was moving of its own accord toward his neck. This was a dangerous weakness indeed.
It turns out that the whole process was 8 hours long, and Vader was kept awake for all of it. This was decided by Sidious so Vader could feel every ounce of pain in order to make him angrier and stronger. Many of his bones had to be replaced by durasteel.
The main story of Vader Immortal only lasts about 30-45 minutes, depending on how quickly you move through it. After you complete the story, there is little reason to return to it other than to relive the same story again.
This information comes to light form the comic series Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli, in particular issue #7. Palpatine admits to Darth Vader that the Jedi he actually feared most was none other than Jocasta Nu.
It's obvious that Vader requires his suit to survive, but what functions does the suit have, and in what ways does it keep him alive? The helmet is the most important part of his suit. The most apparent purpose it serves is to help Vader breathe, but it's far more complex than that.
How does Darth Vader sleeps? No. He takes it off in his pressurized meditation chamber, and according to the novelization of revenge of the Sith, he can go several days to weeks with no sleep and rely on mediation and the force to sustain him.
The short answer is yes, without a doubt, Vader regretted becoming a cybernetic monstrosity. First, there's the constant pain and discomfort from his suit. Worse, however, is the psychological pain. Vader destroyed everything he had ever known for a chance to save Padme.
Vader's suit sustained his life. But in the event of its malfunction or severe damage, he also could sustain himself with hatred and pain through the dark side of the Force. It's not a permanent solution, but he could and had done it.
He was very bold and headstrong at times, but he was calm. His decisions weren't informed by rash impulses or strong emotions of anger or hate. He was also able to stand in the face of danger and adversity, and face it down cooly without fear or panic. That is calmness.
